{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ryan Cowley was fishing off the coast of Queensland in Australia when he caught the shark’s impressive acrobatic skills.
In the nearly 30-second clip, the shark launches itself out of the ocean and flips in the air, before torpedoing back under the water. At one point a boat passes and it seems as if the shark is going to land right on top of the fisherman.
